Veronica Lake is an iconic actress who peaked pretty early and never quite lived up to her own legend. Her most well-known role may have been Sullivan’s Travels, but here in I Married a Witch she shines as Jennifer, a witch returned from the grave intent on ruining the life of her accuser’s descendant. The humor of this film comes from her attempts to seduce the Wallace Wooley (Fredic March) who attempts to resist her advances.
